So...I guess you could call this a variation of an honesty thread, albeit a more self-centered version. If you'd like to add on, or comment on what I babble on about here, go on ahead.
I'm really doing this because I assume I'm seen as one of the more mild-mannered posters, and this is to shatter that impression.
-Joel McHale sucks and is the reason I don't watch Talk Soup anymore.
-And for that matter, I don't get the mentality of continuing to follow something when its bad outweighs its good. It's not as if the artist or the creators of said thing necessarily owe me. If I don't like the direction it's headed, I'm gone.
-I'm tired of the Boston Red Sox. I know they're a great story, I agree that Curt Schilling should easily be a Hall of Famer- but the sports press should give it a rest already. Besides, as a Cards fan, the 2004 World Series clips still piss me off.
-There's actually a Nickelback song I enjoy- "If Everyone Cared".
-I like Cyclops as much as I like Wolverine.
-I think yaoi and fanfictions involving mary-sues are hilarious, because of the fact they're so awful.
-Chivalry is not dead, and I proudly practice it. I don't see how it's sexist.
-As good as Ren and Stimpy was, it doesn't make John K. any less of an asshat.
-Tyler Perry is not that horrible. He's not great, but not horrible.
-Crash (2005) was an awesome film, it deserved to win Best Picture, and I don't think it had its head up its butt at all.
-Still don't see the problem regarding Metallica cutting their hair.
-Aside from Venture Bros, Metalocalypse and Boondocks, I can't stand the non-anime Adult Swim lineup.
-Great guitarist, but I don't get Frank Zappa.
-Among subcultures- emo kids, furries and juggalos get way too much abuse.
-R. Kelly should be in jail.
-I see nothing gross about two girls kissing. Or two guys.
-I hate giant tattoos on women.
-MMA is exciting and very much deserves to be recognized as a legit sport.
-Male J-RPG heroes should NOT look manly. Ever.
-I love hip-hop.
-I'm not a great drinker, and I'm not embarrassed to admit this.
-Dane Cook is horrible.
-I've never seen an episode of LOST.
-I love all of you guys. A lot.

Ooh! Let me rant!
-Brian Wilson is the best songwriter in rock history. Convincing me otherwise will be a waste of time
-Bob Dylan is overrated. Any other decade, he would never have been a legend.
-The vast majority of John Lennon fans view him as a philosopher and god. He's a songwriter, end of story.
-New York Met fans can get just as bad as Yankee fans with their taunting. Not all Yankee fans are asssholes (ex: My father who's not obnoxious when rooting for the Yanks)
-The SNES is the best video game system to ever be released.
-The N64 with an exception of a few games, hasn't aged well.
-The vast majority of wrestling fans take the entertainment way too seriously.

Ooh! Let me rant! -The N64 with an exception of a few games, hasn't aged well. Do you mean graphics wise or games wise? Graphics wise I agree with...I started a new game of Ocarina of Time recently and everything kind of looks awful. It's still the greatest game to ever game though.

I want one -people that use the restroom and don't wash their hands or those that sneeze without covering their mouth need to be rounded up and killed. (also those that DO cover their mouth but then don't promptly wash their hands)

-Someone else mentioned it, but John Lennon is overrated. -So is Bob Dylan. Good, but not THAT good. -Nickleback is far from the worst band around, and tons of people/bands repeat a certain style of song. -As Radio Clash said, chivalry is not dead. Just wounded.
And Clash, you need to catch an episode of LOST. My favorite show on TV today, and I don't watch too much TV.

-Someone else mentioned it, but John Lennon is overrated. Not exactly what I said. Just said the non-music aspects of him were.

- I get deeply annoyed when legitimate news outlets report on the private lives of celebrities. Why should I care?
- As much as we've moved forward with equality, we have equally moved back as it seems everybody is now governed by sex and choose physical attraction (and sometimes just the need for sex) over any sort of relationship. This applies to men and women, and anybody who goes against the grain is seen as being odd. Sex is not the be all and end all.
- Following up on that, I don't find anybody physically attractive, male or female, there has to be something about the person that draws me to them. I have never once been sexually attracted to anybody or anything. This does not make me unusual.
I would rather 1 close female friend than a million supermodels.
- Kevin Nash should have achieved approximately zero in his career and the fact he is still on television in a main event wrestling capacity is sickening.
I have many others, but I'll finish with a positive one;
- Everybody should have at least one work of Shakespeare they love. Seriously there is something for everybody there.
Oh and Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Julliet is a work of genius, no matter what purists may say.

Oh, I've another. - The cliched MMA pre fight staredown is laughably contrived. "I'm an intense fighter who's going to beat you up." "No, I'm an intense fighter who's going to beat YOU up." The only notable exception is when some dude was trying to play mind games with Heath Herring. www.youtube.com/watch?v=loVqGHxFwmE

There, took what I agreed with, or close enough to it. Though I like Cyclops more than Wolverine. By a magnitude.
